Moving Furniture

DH and I are getting ready to move a lot of furniture around in our apartment to make room for when the new baby comes. I'm excited about the change but it has made me realize we live in a pretty small apartment. One idea we have to make room for the new baby in our bedroom is to move the computer desk into the living room. I've been resistant to the idea because right now the living room/dining room are completely baby proofed and I like having a space where DS can roam free. How do you keep your toddler away from the computer? Or do most people just have it in a room they don't have free access to?

Until Saturday my "office" was in Hunter's bedroom. I have started my own business so I just moved my desk, filing cabinet and shredder to the basement. The only thing that I did was put one of those cabinet hooks on the door where the tower was stored (does that make sense??). The two drawers in my desk are pretty hard to open. In the last couple of months he was able to open the bottom drawer. I just took out whatever I didn't wnat him to have and put in some toys for him to find when he opened the drawer. For some reason he rarely opened the top drawer.

Here is a picture of my desk to give you an idea - sorry it's so dark.

Good luck! Janet

We have the monitor, speakers, and tower on our computer desk. And then we go a shelf from Ikea that's overtop of the monitor which holds the printer, modem thing, and anything extra. The filing cabinet is right beside it and the shredder is on top of it. Cassie hasn't been interested in any of it thankfully.

We have a computer room, but my girls still do in there. They don't really mess with the computer though. We have toys in there for them to play with and they don't usually bother the computer. My only worry is Lily sometimes crawls under the desk to hide and the cords are under there.
